There’s something magical about the roll of a tambour door. This vintage cabinet dates from the 1950s and originates from Sweden. Made by Åtvidabergs, who primarily specialised in office furniture, this would have originally been used in an office / workplace environment. In its later years, it was turned upside down (the lock that keeps the tambour door closed had broken – it’s now been replaced with a new working lock as part of our restoration), covered with Formica and used for tool storage in a workshop! We’ve restored it back to what it was but left some of its narrative behind in the blemishes and scars across its surfaces. The tambour door opens to reveal a bank of six removable tray drawers on one side and a further large drawer and open cupboard on the other. It doesn’t get more characterful and endearing than an old, vintage piece like this. Wherever it goes in whichever room, it will charm and find a purpose.
